Tibetan Mulita

Ingredients

The Tibetan Mulita differs from the original Mexican mulita in terms of ingredients and spices used. While the Mexican mulita typically uses beef or pork as the main protein, the Tibetan Mulita incorporates yak meat, which is commonly found in Tibetan cuisine. Additionally, the Tibetan Mulita incorporates traditional Tibetan spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, which give the dish a distinct flavor profile.

Preparation

1. 1.
   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent.
2. 2.
   Add the thinly sliced yak meat to the skillet and cook until browned.
3. 3.
   Sprinkle the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, and pepper over the yak meat. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
4. 4.
   Reduce the heat to low and let the meat simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. 5.
   While the meat is simmering, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Place a corn tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side, until it becomes slightly crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
6. 6.
   To assemble the Tibetan Mulitas, place a spoonful of the spiced yak meat mixture onto one corn tortilla. Top with another tortilla to create a sandwich.

   Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
8. 8.
   Garnish the Tibetan Mulitas with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Yak meat — If yak meat is not available, you can substitute it with lean beef or lamb for a similar flavor and texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a pinch of Tibetan red chili powder to the spiced yak meat mixture.
• Serve the Tibetan Mulitas with a side of traditional Tibetan hot sauce for an added burst of heat.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cumin and coriander in the spice mixture.
